Topic:
The role of sexism in the perception of nursing. Do people (consciously/unconsciously) still enframe Nursing as a "female" field?
This document contains a series of tweets from a Twitter chat about nursing education using the hashtag #RNchat. Nurses, nursing students, and others participating in the chat introduced themselves and shared what they felt was missing from their nursing education or what they would change. Common responses included a lack of clinical experience and hands-on skills training, not enough education on time management, communication, and end-of-life care, and a desire for more diversity and interprofessional education. The chat participants engaged in discussion on three topic areas related to nursing education.
This Twitter chat document discusses a #RNchat discussion among nurses about reducing catheter-associated urinary tract infections (UTIs). Some key points:
- Catheter-associated UTIs are a Medicare "Never Event" that will no longer be reimbursed.
- Nurses described practices at their facilities to minimize catheter use and remove them as soon as possible to reduce UTIs. These included only using catheters when necessary, setting goals to remove them within 2 days, and teaching home catheter care.
- However, some nurses noted that some patients are still being sent home with indwelling catheters and minimal instructions, leading to problems. The discussion focused on preventing UTIs by optimizing catheter care

This document summarizes a Twitter chat ("#RNchat") about how healthcare workplaces can help nurses deal with grief from patient deaths.
1) Nurses discussed how having extra staff help with patient care allows the primary nurse time to grieve with family and take a break. Grief support groups and counseling were also suggested.
2) Most agreed nursing education does not adequately prepare students for dealing with workplace grief. Storytelling from experienced nurses was proposed as a way to address this.
3) Whether current systems motivate hospitals to provide grief support is uncertain, though some nurses noted supportive policies at their institutions while others felt "grief time" may be seen as unproductive.

Produced by @PhilBaumann
The #RNchat discussion focused on two topics: 1) the link between 12-hour nursing shifts and medical errors, and 2) improving hand-off communication between healthcare professionals. For the first topic, nurses debated the pros and cons of 12-hour shifts, acknowledging studies showing increased errors but also that 12-hour shifts have become ingrained in nursing culture and schedules. For the second topic, nurses suggested standardized report forms and emphasized the importance of nurse-to-nurse communication over recorded reports. The discussion highlighted balancing research findings with the realities of nursing practice and patient safety.

Participants welcomed each other and introduced themselves as the discussion began. Regarding the National Nurse Act, most saw pros like increasing nursing's political leverage and changing public perception of the profession, though a few noted it could grow political. When asked about other countries' high-level nursing roles, one mentioned Scotland's health minister was formerly a nurse. The discussion then shifted to some Philadelphia hospitals requiring BSNs for new nurses.

Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the structure and function of taste buds.
Describe the relationship between the taste threshold and taste index of common substances.
Explain the chemical basis and signal transduction of taste perception for each type of primary taste sensation.
Recognize different abnormalities of taste perception and their causes.
Key Topics:
Significance of Taste Sensation:
Differentiation between pleasant and harmful food
Influence on behavior
Selection of food based on metabolic needs
Receptors of Taste:
Taste buds on the tongue
Influence of sense of smell, texture of food, and pain stimulation (e.g., by pepper)
Primary and Secondary Taste Sensations:
Primary taste sensations: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Umami
Chemical basis and signal transduction mechanisms for each taste
Taste Threshold and Index:
Taste threshold values for Sweet (sucrose), Salty (NaCl), Sour (HCl), and Bitter (Quinine)
Taste index relationship: Inversely proportional to taste threshold
Taste Blindness:
Inability to taste certain substances, particularly thiourea compounds
Example: Phenylthiocarbamide
Structure and Function of Taste Buds:
Composition: Epithelial cells, Sustentacular/Supporting cells, Taste cells, Basal cells
Features: Taste pores, Taste hairs/microvilli, and Taste nerve fibers
Location of Taste Buds:
Found in papillae of the tongue (Fungiform, Circumvallate, Foliate)
Also present on the palate, tonsillar pillars, epiglottis, and proximal esophagus
Mechanism of Taste Stimulation:
Interaction of taste substances with receptors on microvilli
Signal transduction pathways for Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour, and Salty tastes
Taste Sensitivity and Adaptation:
Decrease in sensitivity with age

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

6/30/2010 18:09
rnchat: OK lets start with the first topic T1 #RNchat
6/30/2010 18:09
rnchat: T1 How do we educate pts, families & other health care professionals about end-of-life
options that are more humane? #RNchat
6/30/2010 18:11
onlinenursing: @rnchat T1- great question. I try to do it, by laying out the options & discussing pain and
QoL #RNChat.
6/30/2010 18:12
chemosabe: T1 oncology nurses could be accused of this frequently, particularly when haematologists
are involved #rnchat
6/30/2010 18:14
rnchat: T1 I see end-stage pts get hospitalized with well-worded living wills yet DNR status is
withheld by reluctant families #RNchat
6/30/2010 18:14
nursingpins: T1 Hospitals should offer ongoing EOL programs (Emps. and familys) but for the time
being we must edu each family one at a time. #rnchat
6/30/2010 18:14
onlinenursing: T1 also love hospice. recently had pt. w/no health insurance,dying of CA. Could not get
hospice-Very sad.Hospice RN's great eductrs #RNChat
6/30/2010 18:15
4. nursekama: @rnchat Interesting question for mental health areas...we sometimes have trouble
bringing up end-of-life care w/ pts & family period #rnchat
6/30/2010 18:15
philbaumann: Hi #rnchat - I'm in SF and @doctoranonymous just took a compromising pic of me. ...Wait
for et ;)
6/30/2010 18:15
rnchat: @nursingpins T1 Yes seems like its an uphill battle to be dealt with 1 family @ a time.
We must make EOL care universally understood #RNchat
6/30/2010 18:16
rnchat: @philbaumann LOL ut oh...hope its not censored! :) Howdy in SF! Having fun, eh?
#RNchat
6/30/2010 18:17
rnchat: @onlinenursing T1 Yes I love hospice philosophy too. It makes such sense. Shame that
pt couldn't get it. Should be universal too! #RNchat
6/30/2010 18:18
chemosabe: T1 "why do they nail coffins shut?" #rnchat
6/30/2010 18:18
nursingpins: T1 EOL discussions must be started by med. team - still not discussed by most families -
most have not even chosen a funeral home. #rnchat
6/30/2010 18:18
chemosabe: T1 "to keep the haematologists out" #rnchat
6/30/2010 18:18
rnchat: @nursingpins T1 We had a case last week where hospice consult written 6 days before
family would consent. They just didnt understand #RNchat
6/30/2010 18:19
rnchat: @chemosabe We love all humor, no matter where it originates ;) #RNchat
6/30/2010 18:19
chemosabe: T1 saw a consumer post about this just today on macmillan.co.uk #rnchat
6/30/2010 18:20
onlinenursing: @chemosabe Or-why do wecontinue 2 torture terminal pts w/surg,tests,chemo?send me
home,feed me chocolate/wine,let me be with my fam #RNChat
6/30/2010 18:20
rnchat: T1 Its very disheartening for a health care professional to keep doing interventions like
bloodwork when its unnecessary & painful #RNchat
6/30/2010 18:21
chemosabe: actually that should be www.macmillan.org.uk #rnchat
6/30/2010 18:21
chemosabe: T1 sometimes family and patient r not ready to accept that there is nothing more to b
done #rnchat
6/30/2010 18:22
onlinenursing: @rnchat I meant that last answer 4U.Hate 2 B moribid but death rate is 100%, 1 per
person.We can either make it good death or not #RNChat
6/30/2010 18:22
5. nursingpins: T1 Hospice is in the position and most knowledgeable about EOL events - they could
standardize the edu program? #rnchat
6/30/2010 18:23
onlinenursing: @chemosabe So true! #RNChat (not ready)
6/30/2010 18:23
rnchat: @nursekama T1 But suicidal thoughts doesnt mean terminal or end stage illness. Is EOL
discussion appropriate with those patients? #RNchat
6/30/2010 18:23
pheroumenos: Daniel. hospice nurse. Relationships/education must be developed w/ community,
referrers over time and must advocate in the now. #rnchat
6/30/2010 18:24
onlinenursing: RT @nursingpins: T1 Hospice is in the position and most knowledgeable about EOL
events - they could standardize the edu program? #rnchat

NUR3563: RT @nursingpins: T1 Hospice is in the position and most knowledgeable about EOL
events - they could standardize the edu program? #rnchat
6/30/2010 18:24
rnchat: @onlinenursing T1 Oh I think we all understand what it means to want to go home, eat
chocolate & drink wine if we are terminally ill #RNchat
6/30/2010 18:25
nursekama: @rnchat T1 No exactly, that was my point. But most hospitals mandate ALL clients must
have EOL options documented in case of crisis. #rnchat
6/30/2010 18:25
chemosabe: T1 we used model of "shared care" so pt did not feel they were being dropped and txing
team stayed involved #rnchat
6/30/2010 18:26
rnchat: @nursekama T1 Ohhh....ok I see. So its NOT appropriate with that diagnosis, but its
mandated #RNchat
6/30/2010 18:26
rnchat: @chemosabe T1 Even in US hospitals, there are units that let hospice care write orders &
the same staff cares for the patient #RNchat
6/30/2010 18:27
nursekama: @rnchat T1 With the increase of physical comorbidities within the mental health
population I work w/, EOL options must be discussed. #rnchat
6/30/2010 18:27
rnchat: Ok 2 minutes til topic 2 (T2) :) #RNchat
6/30/2010 18:27
chemosabe: T1 again tho this started as not withdrawing agg tx in eol. cood b down to Dr or RN not
willing to say no more #rnchat
6/30/2010 18:28
rnchat: T1 When was the "hospice concept" in health care first started....anyone know....just
curious? #RNchat
6. 6/30/2010 18:28
chemosabe: t1 some hlth pros too "soft" to b the villain & say "no more" #rnchat
6/30/2010 18:29
pheroumenos: Nursekama. T1. Seems determinant would be the degree to which EOL discussions
promoted/exaccerbated self harm. #rnchat

chemosabe: T1 Hospice goes back to the knights of St john in the ?1300's #rnchat
6/30/2010 18:30
rnchat: T1 Sadly, we still have physicians that do not want to sign a DNR form, claiming they do
not feel the patient is "ready" for it #RNchat
6/30/2010 18:31
nursingpins: T1 I think hospice is the best thing adopted by w. medicine - it is still early for us and
needs to be fine tuned. #rnchat
6/30/2010 18:31

prescription for terminal patients #RNchat
